What are your thoughts on basic income?

UBI = give me nigger money while I be degenerate

good idea in a perfect world
bad idea since we don't live in a perfect world and 80% of people won't work at all since they're lazy fucks

Well considering im not some lazy nigger/millennial and im capitalist i despise it.

60% of people would get lazy. Constantly demanding more while resources are limited. 5% would continue to dominate (pseudo-sociopaths). Might work if reproduction was heavily regulated.

I think the philosophy of Epicurus expands on this. Human should really only work when they desire it, because they have a natural desire to work and laziness is a result of people not ever having a chance to get this natural desire and be always forced to be working

UBI sounds great on paper, but it would be a disaster if implemented large scale.

UBI being good or bad depends on your motivations. if your motivations are to destroy the west and hand it over to Islam, then UBI will accomplish that goal in one generation.

Government would use half of the allotment to hire people and run a program. Wouldnt it be more efficient to just tax less in the first place?

Maybe if we didnt destroy the family unit people wouldnt have to gimmie gimmie at the government every second, but could look to their family for help.
